Re: Implant 9/29/23 - Dr. Eid
I went back to Dr Eid’s office yesterday to have the sutures removed. All seems to be healing well. They put some surgical glue and small bandages over the incision after removing the water tight suture. Was advised to stop pumping for three days to avoid the very unlikely event that strong pumping/...

Re: Implant 9/29/23 - Dr. Eid
I am 9 days post-surgery and wanted to give an update. Pain and swelling have substantially been reduced, especially pain in the reservoir area. I have been cycling twice daily for 20 minutes as ordered by Dr Eid since day 3. Cycling is painful when at the highest level of erection. It hurts in the ...

Re: Infection? Fever and reservoir pain
Update: the low level fever last maybe 5 hours and today reservoir area pain subsided. I have other pain but it is quite normal given I am all of 1 week out post surgery. I have a suture removal/followup appointment with Dr Eid in one week. Thanks all who commented. Btw, looks like walking around in...

Infection? Fever and reservoir pain
My implant journey, though less than a week old has been up and down. I hadnt had much pain since maybe day 3 and the pain has been the most severe in the reservoir area. Dr Eid indicated on followup, day 3, that because of my small frame and lack of bodyfat it was difficult to place the reservoir i...

Re: 3 top Surgeon in the USA
Eid recommends cycling on day 3 which is faster than anyone I know, peno-scrotal or infra-pubic. His “no-touch” technique has been shown to reduce infection making such early cycling (combined with his vast experience) safe. Im on day 5 post surgery with Eid (implanted on 9/29/23) and just flew back...

Re: Just implanted, Now Flying; TSA
I went through JFK airport’s hold-hands-over-head screening device with no issues or requirement for wanding or check. On the way home. Thanks all for the help.

Re: Pain in abdomen left side and useful life question
Obviously get examined by a dr. However just to chime in on (limited) experience, my reservoir was placed on the left side so the pain is possibly related to the reservoir (if) yours was placed on the left (lower abdomen) side. I just got implanted 5 days ago so have no real experience but from rese...

Re: Seattle area doctor or travel?
The only rational reason to stay local is because of cost, ie your insurance will only be accepted locally. If money isnt an issue, get the best surgeon you can find regardless of location and book a hotel for a week near the surgical sight. I got implanted on 9/29/23, 4 days ago. I arrived on 9/27,...

Just implanted, Now Flying; TSA
I was implanted 4 days ago by EID and will fly back cross country tomorrow. My penis is still sore and sutured. How to go through security? Should I go through that device where you raise your arms above head? Will that set off an alarm requiring further inspection? Will the inspection cause some TS...

Re: Newly implanted 44 year old
I had long discussion with Dr Eid about proper sizing. He explained that the Dr must balance multiple variables where there are downsides to “under” or “oversizing”. However here is the issue in your case: lets assume hypothetically that the 10 top penile experts agreed that you were objectively und...
